SOL Testing and Exams
As a reminder, students must attempt and pass a certain number of SOL assessments in order to graduate with a diploma. SOL tests are monitored by the State of Virginia and must be administered at Randolph-Henry High School in accordance with our testing security agreement. SOL study materials will be provided for students prior to testing. Elective and other non-SOL courses will administer an exam and/or a certification test, or a project to take the place of an exam. Teachers will communicate this information to all students. Virtual Virginia students will be contacted to come in and take SOL assessments if they are enrolled in a SOL course. On the day of the SOL test, students should arrive to school by 8:16 for breakfast and attendance before reporting to their testing location at 8:30. Students should bring their fully charged Chromebook with them for testing. When finished, students will be allowed to return to class. A free breakfast and/or lunch will be offered to all students at school each day. Students who are testing will be given a break to stop and eat lunch even if their test is not complete. If you have any questions about this information, please reach out to us during regular office hours at 434-542-4111.
Important Notes:
- SOL Tests will take place at 8:30 AM on designated days.
- Students who attend morning programs will need to plan to be here for their SOL tests and communicate that with their DE instructors.
- Elective exams will take place on a non-SOL test day as determined by the teacher during the regular class meeting time.
- Core content exams will take place on the SOL test days but during the normal class time.
- The gym breezeway and library patio are closed to lunches on testing days.
- WE WILL OPERATE ON A NORMAL BELL SCHEDULE DURING ALL TESTING DAYS!

Statesmen Fan Expectations For Home Events
In an intentional effort to keep everyone safe at our home events this year, we ask that you review our spectator code of conduct. Students who are currently serving a suspension are not permitted at school athletic events. Students who violate these rules at a school event are subject to school discipline. Both students and guests who behave in a manner that is inappropriate or disruptive may be removed and restricted from future athletic events. For the safety of all guests, metal detectors may be used at the gate and spectators who exit will not be allowed reentry.

Drop Off and Pick Up Information
Morning Drop Off:
Please drop your student off in the guidance parking lot loop. If they arrive prior to 8AM, they will report to the café until the bell rings. No students may be dropped of on the auditorium side of the building due to student drivers and foot traffic on that side of campus.
Afternoon Pick Up:
Please enter the Death Valley Parking Lot and park to wait for your child. Students will be released at 3:15 to proceed to that area for pick up. Students may not enter vehicles that are stopped in the road or in any other area deemed unsafe. School staff and a deputy will be present to assist you with any questions you have.
After School Pick Up:
If you are picking your student up from an after-school activity, please ensure you park in one of the parking spaces in a designated parking lot to wait for your child. We must keep our bus loop clear in the evenings so that our remediation buses may pass through safely.
Statesmen Care Program
Randolph-Henry High School will continue the Statesmen Care program thanks to the donations of our generous community. Our main hall restrooms feature a donation shelf for personal care products to be used by our young men and women. By placing these items in the restrooms, students can discretely obtain what is needed without the embarrassment of having to ask. We hope that with the continuation of this program all of our Statesmen will feel fresh and ready to learn each day! Being clean and healthy builds confidence, promotes good attendance, and can help prevent bullying. Students will be allowed to take what they need free of charge and with no questions asked. Donations can be dropped off at the school between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday-Friday. For more information, you may contact Mrs. Davis, Principal of Randolph-Henry High School, at 434-542-4111.
Suggested items: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouth wash, brushes/combs, lip balm, menstruation items, and cleansing wipes. *Please no razors or wax.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We also offer a Statesmen Supply Cart for students who may run out of a needed item during the school day. Basic supplies such as paper, pens, notecards, and pencils are free of charge for all students. School supply donations are accepted throughout the year.
A Dress for Success Closet!
Students who need to prepare for an interview or dress up for a school competition/event will have some options available to them at RHHS this year. We are accepting a few donations of interview appropriate clothing in various sizes. Due to limited staffing and storage we are not able to accept garbage bags full of clothing. Please keep donations to a few gently used items at a time. Please, no undergarments or soiled items.
Suggested items: Gift cards to purchase needed items, ties, white button-down shirts, polos, black suit/blazers, dresses, skirts, blouses, slacks, and dress shoes.
